Install_Vim_Plugin

Installation as a Vim plugin

You can use minion in the command line as well as in VIM, just be sure to keep your configuration files set to one method!

This plugin is packaged for use with Vundle. This plugin requires Vim to be compiled with Python support.

1. Install Vundle and then add edthedev/minion to your .vimrc:

   Bundle 'edthedev/minion'
   

2. Then, from within Vim, run BundleInstall:

   :BundleInstall
   

3. Copy and set .minion file accordingly:

   mv ~/.vim/bundle/minion/DOTminion ~/.minion
   

4. Edit ~/.minion to set your notes directory.

   [notes]
   home = ~/Documents
   

5. Optionally, edit ~/.minion to modify the default editor, templates, and text file extension.

   [compose]
   templates = /Users/edward/.vim/bundle/minion/plugin/../templates
   extension = .md
   editor = vim
   

6. Change the MINION_INSTALL variable to $HOME/.vim/bundle/minion in ~/.vim/bundle/minion/add_to_your_profile.

7. Configure your shell:

   • bash/zsh/sh:

     Add the following to your profile (e.g. ~/.bashrc):

      source ~/.vim/bundle/minion/add_to_your_profile

   • fish:

     Add the following to your ~/.config/fish/config.fish

      set -x MINION_INSTALL $HOME/.vim/bundle/minion
      
      if [ -d "$MINION_INSTALL" ]
      	set -x PATH $MINION_INSTALL $PATH
      end
